CRAFTY CALENDAR JULY CHALLENGE - SUMMERTIME FUN

Oh heck - I am such a divvy - I almost forgot to post my latest DT card for my new Challenge Blog! I have been making a card for my next door neighbour's dad who was 70 two days before my birthday and I have struggled with this one big time. Anyway enough of that one for now, I will be posting it later on. So, onto today's card, this is my DT 'creation' and the theme for this Crafty Calendar month is Summertime Fun, I thought of Wimbledon (oops - now that's interesting Mr Cherokee - perhaps I shouldn't have)! Well it does include strawberries and lovely cool drinkies! Some time ago I bought a 'bundle' of digis from a shop called Pollycraft, (I think it was closing down), and this was amongst them. I didn't want him in tennis whites because I love colouring so this one is really really bright! The other digis are from colouring pages on t'internet.

As I mentioned earlier, the theme for the Crafty Calendar Challenge is Summertime Fun and we have been sponsored by a company called Squiggle Fly - they are offering a prize of 3 digis to the winner. I am sure that you are into the feel of summer now so I would love to see your cards in the challenge.Ingredients7" X 7" White Card blank - Anna Marie DesignsLime Card - Basal Blush Pack - Create and CraftPatterned Paper - Bo Bunny Summer Sunshine PadTennis Digi - Pollycraft (?no longer trading)Other Digis - Colouring Pages on t'internetFishtail Flag Stax die - Die-namics DiesHappy Birthday Sentiment - Tattered Lace WordsRounded Rectangle die - SpellbindersYellow Mesh - StashFlexmarkers and Spectrum Noir markersI hope you like this one, I was never keen on tennis myself - school had a lot to do with it, especially when we had to make our own tennis skirts in Needlework ....... all those bloomin' pleats!

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
